Reviews

“This is storytelling and stagecraft at its best and most contemporary. Not to be missed!”
—The Irish Times – International Dublin Gay Theatre Festival
“A charming, funny, and moving theatrical experience…witty and wise…a comedic, yet thoughtful one-man show, written and performed by acclaimed actor and playwright, James Hindman. A solo show…requires an appealing premise, top-notch writing, and an actor that captures the dynamism of the story. Hindman accomplishes this and more.’’
—Broadway World
“The themes of resilience in the face of doubt and unforeseen obstacles resonate beyond the performance and play and throughout the battered-but-surviving world of theater.”
